A comparison of the metacognitive behaviors of field independent and field dependent pre-service teachers

Creator:: Carr, Maureen Sherry
Abstract:: Research studies indicated that differences in cognitive processing style influence individual behavior on various types of tasks. This study investigated the effect of the cognitive style dimension, field independence-dependence, on the metacognitive functioning of individuals involved in three problem tasks which varied in inherent structure. Twenty-six subjects were randomly selected...

Energy efficient communication across on-chip wires in digital CMOS

Creator:: Postman, Jacob
Abstract:: For the past half century, CMOS process scaling has followed Moore's law, approximately doubling transistor density every 18 months. While locally routed wires have generally scaled with transistor size, longer wires have scaled at a slower rate and in some cases have grown larger as chip size and complexity have...
